'format-oriented' originates from the combination of 'format' and the suffix '-oriented', where 'format' refers to the arrangement or layout of something, and '-oriented' indicates a focus or direction towards something.

'format' comes from the French word 'format', which was derived from the Latin 'formatus', meaning 'formed'. The suffix '-oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or direct'.

Initially, 'format' referred to the physical arrangement of text or images, but over time, 'format-oriented' evolved to describe a focus on the structure or layout of any content.
